Can i donate blood with a eating disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably, yes: If you are not too thin yet, it would probably not hurt you and there would not be a likely problem with the blood. But - do get help for the eating disorder before it is too bad. Good treatment works. It's not easy, but it is possible to get this under control. Good luck.
